I absolutely love it - along with Desperate Housewives it's probably my favourite thing on TV at the mo.


She doesn't scrub up too badly, does she?

Absolutely.  It's just the right balance of humour, pathos and downright whackyness!

Does anyone else like Bonkers?

Not seen it.  Apart from her shelf, I'm not a fan of Lisa Tarbuck.

I could be wrong as it's not an expression I'm familiar with but I assume Bounty is referring to her chest.

Oh. I've heard the term 'rack' before but not shelf.

A lot of cross posting going on.  It's a common phrase here

It's weird but fun. Did anyone like Jam and Jerusalem? I thought that was very funny but totally weird.

I thought it had some funny moments, but there were too many people in it. You could tell some of them had only come in for a couple of days to do all their scenes.

The problem is Bonkers is opposite Hotel Babylon, which is aiming for the same sort of viewers - plus HB is in its second series, so already has a following.

Good grief.


I don't watch any of these programmes. I feel like I'm missing out on something, but I'm not sure what!

Getting back to the topic of Ugly Betty, I love it! I have been downloading them so I am a bit further ahead than Channel 4. Lucy Liu is good in it.

I don't either, but I don't feel I'm missing out on anything. I don't watch TV as much as I used to.

Me either and I'm finding I don't miss it.


I love to watch good movies, but apart from that I happily leave the TV switched off.

Ooh, I didn't know she was coming into it. Vanessa Williams is good I think.

Yes, Lucy Liu plays an old school friend of Daniel's called Grace. I like the character Christina (sorry I don't know her real name). How many episodes have been shown so far? I am up to number 17.

I'm not sure - to my knowledge only 13 episodes had been made so far, so that shows how much I know!

Number 16 was shown on American TV about 2 weeks ago. It only takes a couple of days before the episodes are posted online. I believe there are going to be 22 episodes in the first season.
